Hi Jackie,
I have researched many cases. They are available like open books online, amazing. It's difficult to answer your question because every case has so many variables. I was told by a CW in CT that a they did a TPR on one child of a mother and not the other. The reason was that the child (that they TPRd) had developmental delays and they thought that mom could not handle them due to her own mental capacity but that she was able to parent her other child enough to the satisfy the states standards. However, that does not mean that they will never be involved again and that the son will not come into care, in that event they may contact you, but if there is no relationship between the two, it may not be a concern that they are together.
In our case we have a FC that has three other siblings but she was born after they were in DCF care. The Foster family (caring for the siblings) was approached about taking the baby, but they could not for their own personal reasons, and so we were contacted. They have a relationship because we (foster parents together) have facilitated an ongoing relationship and live live close by to the siblings, this family have become dear friends of ours.
